TBF I would eat and simply “review” later, the guide michelin doesn’t show pictures of the food their testers had in the examined restaurants either.
Seriously I find all this review channels to be quite awkward. React channels… shure. Restaurant critics… everyone is a frogging critic nowadays… even me. But I remember those reviews are always subjective.
But I somehow I find a lot studios of “content creators” , especially TikTakTok, are created in the front seat of their cars.
It’s not something I’d ever choose to watch, but apparently there’s a market for it, and if people can make a living doing it, more power to them. It’s pretty harmless, really.
No channels. User created media is worthless at best, and wildly dangerous at worst. Even diy can be pretty sketchy. Saw one on home elecrical wiring years ago that I was wondering if the creator was still alive because what he created was less of a fire hazard, and more of a fire guarantee with RNG timing.
You know, you do raise a valid point, here. Note-taking has become something of a lost art/skill in the smartphone age. Not many people write shit down in notebooks and journals outside of what they are required to do in school, college, university. I’m personally working on getting my groove back when it comes to taking notes on things, because as much as I love to create content I find it hard not to go into a rambling diatribe without notes.
Some people like to see the food, and judging how it is far more popular than the reviews you’ve mentioned, I would say your opinion is probably in the minority. I don’t say this as a fan; in fact I’m not really interested in streaming or review videos for the most part, but that puts me in a minority too.
Even content creators I like, like for instance ProZD or CalebCity, I love their short form videos, but I don’t watch ProZD’s review videos nor Caleb’s streams.
As long as there are consumers, a product will sell, even if we aren’t interested ourselves or think it’s dumb.
Of course it’s a minority opinion… my opinion. One mans opinion.
Also I don’t like YT shorts. I’m still able to focus on a topic for more than 30 seconds. There are a few creators that do interesting content.
I’m probably too old for content that is created for people born around the year 2000. I prefer stuff that doesn’t make me feel the creator is an Idiot entertaining a bunch of morons.
Yes, as a teen/twen I also was all for fun… but back then there wasn’t the WWW, Facebook, Youtube or what other long/shortlived platforms there are.
Maybe that’s why I seldome consume content that isn’t on the mental fast food side.
Oh, I’m not really young, and I do like long form stuff, but less in the form of video content. Either reading, audio books, or podcasts are generally my longform type entertainment. I so occasionally watch 10-30 minute videos, but again most of my intake like that, especially informational instead of just comedy, is in the form of either podcast or straight text.
I work IT and I don’t like video demonstrations, but instead prefer web pages that explain and give either images or text examples.

…do you really not understand the difference between a Michelin food reviewer and a social media influencer who happens to be reviewing a dish?
